Best Answer

Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in.

Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.

Why is gas denser than liquids and solids?

Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
